• ... poetry is not a luxury. It is a vital necessity of our existence. It forms the quality of the light within which we predicate our hopes and dreams toward survival and change, first made into language, then into idea, then into more tangible action. Poetry is the way we help give name to the nameless so it can be thought. The farthest horizons of our hopes and fears are cobbled by our poems, carved from the rock experiences of our daily lives.

• A rose by any other name Would get the blame For being what it is-- The colour of a kiss, The shadow of a flame. A rose may earn another name, So call it love; So call it love I will, And love is like the sea, Which changes constantly, And yet is still The same.

• ¿Cómo te llamas?", preguntó sorprendida. Pero, por alguna razón, quería saberlo. El hermano de Dean no había sido un tipo malo número cuatro sin nombre. Este vampiro tampoco lo era. Tenía un nombre, una historia, tal vez incluso gente a la que le importaba lo que le sucediera. Mi nombre no es de tu incumbencia -dijo, y siguió mirando por la ventana, a pesar de que allí fuera no había más que ladrillos borrosos. ¿Puedo llamarte None para abreviar?

• When she awoke there was a melody in her head she could not identify or recall ever hearing before. 'Perhaps I made it up,' she thought. Then it came to her - the name of the song and all its lyrics just as she had heard it many times before. She sat on the edge of the bed thinking, 'There aren't any more new songs and I have sung all the ones there are. I have sung them all. I have sung all the songs there are.

• Hay todo tipo de experiencias a las que no podemos poner nombre... El nacimiento de un hijo, por ejemplo. O la muerte de uno de los padres. El enamoramiento. Las palabras son como redes: esperamos que cubran lo que queremos decir, pero sabemos que no pueden contener tanta alegría, dolor o asombro. Encontrar a Dios también es así. Si te ha sucedido a ti, sabes lo que se siente. Pero si intentas describírselo a otra persona, el lenguaje no te llevará muy lejos.

• No es fácil describirlo. Hay algo malo en su aspecto; algo desagradable, algo francamente detestable. Nunca vi un hombre que me desagradara tanto, y sin embargo apenas sé por qué. Debe de estar deformado en alguna parte; da una fuerte sensación de deformidad, aunque no sabría precisar el punto. Es un hombre de aspecto extraordinario, y sin embargo no puedo nombrar nada fuera de lo común. No señor; no puedo hacer mano de él; no puedo describirlo. Y no es falta de memoria; pues declaro que puedo verle en este momento.

• I don't believe you know anything about a man like me or a country like this. It takes rough men, Miss Fair, to tame a rough country; rough men, but good men. Your father is in that class. As for you, I don't think you'd measure up, and you'll do well to leave it. You're a hothouse flower, very soft, very appealing and very useless...In the world you are going to, men want pretty useless women. They want toys for their lighte moments, and we have those women out here, too, only we have another name for them. We want women who can make a home, and if need be, handle a rifle.
